A fake. This type of ‘Brucie’ is straight out of the Martin Marsh catalogue, number 188.

The term comes from the protrusion of Minerva’s chin.

The easiest thing to spot the bad ones is the overly chunky thick font. The genuine ones which do have a bit of a chin, amongst other differences, have finer lettering.
